Speaking of that, I'm getting close to your age, JD.
I bet nobody could tell because of how immature I act (lol). I also look and sound young, I guess it's just a fact of my life.
Still, I don't know if I should use the site anymore after I turn 18 because it just gets a little weird after that point. People will also give me the same reaction as that first comment and start flagging my posts like they did to you.
For the last few years, I've been pretty inactive except for short spurts anyways, so I suppose I could make the transition to alumni fairly easily. But I have a lot of nostalgia for this site since I've been using it for so long. KS was one of the first sites I joined and the first one I was active on.
Quite a tricky situation for us.
